Design of Experiments 1a and 1b: Perceptual Learning Data

Two experiments (1a and 1b) investigating perceptual learning theories, specifically retrospective revaluation and restoration of perceptual effectiveness. The dataset was created by María del Carmen Sanjuán and last updated on 2026-05-08. It contains data from online experiments where participants were exposed to and conditioned with compound visual stimuli.

Use Cases

• Modeling associative learning mechanisms based on the described compound stimulus conditioning paradigm.
• Analyzing generalization patterns in perceptual discrimination based on the BX, CY, and DZ stimulus exposures.
• Testing theories of retrospective revaluation using the reported retardation test results from Experiment 1b.
• Investigating external inhibition effects based on the comparison of compound stimuli BW and DW.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The experimental design and theoretical context are described in detail in the accompanying manuscript.
• File size is 5.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
